Imagine for a moment....


“Imagine for a moment that your family and your neighbors go to the movie theater to see the latest blockbuster. During the beginning of the movie you smell smoke and the manager of the theater comes in and makes an announcement that there was a little fire but there is nothing to be concerned about, it will all magically disappear and you can go ahead and enjoy the movie. Then you see some flames flare up and again the manager says it’s just a small fire it’s not like it’s a big fire and you should just go ahead and watch the movie. You think of all the things you were told by firefighters on what to do when there’s a fire so you decide you’re going to take your family and leave; you tell your neighbors to do the same. However, they decline saying you’re overreacting and that the manager said there’s nothing to worry about. You get outside and see the theater is now engulfed in flames and the manager is across the street watching the theater burn to the ground with your neighbors inside. You ask why he didn’t tell everyone to take precautions and exit the theater? The manager says, “I wanted to always play it down, I still like playing it down, because I don’t want to create a panic”
tRump is the manager. The theater is our country and the fire is COVID-19.
tRump failed us.
So this former Republican is voting for Joe Biden!” 🇺🇸

One example: The Station Nightclub fire February 20, 2003. Those who did not get out in the first 90 seconds after the flames appeared, died.

If you want, you can find video on YouTube.
